Shopify stores in India need correct GST settings and invoices. Mistakes cause problems with customers and your accountant.
This is general guidance. Confirm GST rates, HSN codes and invoice requirements with your chartered accountant.
Tax settings
- Set up India tax settings in Shopify, including your GST registration.
- Decide whether prices include GST (common in India for consumer stores).
- Set product-level tax overrides where rates differ.
HSN codes
Each product needs the correct HSN code for GST invoices. Find common headings with our HSN code finder, then confirm with your CA.
Intra-state vs inter-state
Sales within your state show CGST and SGST; sales to other states show IGST. A GST invoice app handles this automatically based on the shipping address.
GST invoice apps
Shopify apps generate invoices with GSTIN, HSN codes, tax breakup, invoice numbers and the place of supply, and can email them to customers.
B2B orders
Let business customers enter their GSTIN at checkout so they can claim input tax credit.
Check calculations
Verify tax amounts with our GST calculator.
